Physicians in the Section of Colon & Rectal Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Florida specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the small intestine, colon, rectum and anus.
Our colorectal surgeons also are experienced in laparoscopic procedures. These procedures use smaller incisions, which decrease the amount of bleeding, lower the expected hospital stay and shorten recovery time for patients.
The Mayo model of care emphasizes an integrative, collaborative team approach to provide the best possible care for each patient. Colorectal surgeons work with the physicians in Gastroenterology & Hepatology to provide a thorough evaluation and treatment for patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. They also work with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of patients with colon, rectal or anal cancer.
Early diagnosis and laparoscopic colon surgery put Carlos Genardini on a fast track to recovery from colon cancer.
